The policy of the Association for Political History is to organize their conferences free from fees. This is an ideal that we cherish and that we want to uphold. The generous funding by the Flemish Research Agency (FWO), however, is only granted on the condition that we do ask fees. Therefore, we opt for a system with voluntary and differential fees. Our hope is that it can help us to achieve our ambition to remove global inequalities, which is at the very heart of the decolonizing approach that we advocate for with this conference.
We invite participants who can acquire funding from their home institutions to pay a voluntary fee, which we can use to meet at least part of the accommodation and transport costs of those participants who would otherwise not be able to attend. The standard fee that we propose is 25 €/day for students and 50 €/day for postdocs and faculty members. Needless to say that we also welcome higher fees from those among you who can afford it. As such, global solidarity can become a core element of the way we organize our discipline. Those among you who, after registering through the form below, decide to make an additional donation to our solidarity fund can do so on the following account: BE42 7350 0886 2754, with the mention "SC250017 + First Name + Name".
We thank you for your contribution and for your solidarity!
